Description:

Botanical Name: Vitex agnes-castus
Plant Part: Dried Berrys
Status: Wildcrafted
Place of Origin: Albania

Also Known As: Chaste Tree Berry

Description: It is sometimes used for the treatment of PMS. It is believed to be an antaphrodisiac, hence the name "chaste tree", and is used as a medicinal plant by many herbalists. The parts used include the chaste tree's leaves, flowers, and berries. The berries are considered a tonic herb for both the male and female reproductive systems. The leaves have the same effect, but to a somewhat lesser degree. It is used in some supplements for male bodybuilders as a secondary component, as some studies suggested that it may decrease the prolactin levels, which, in turn, may increase LH (luteinizing hormone); increased LH triggers an increase in the testosterone levels which is beneficial for increasing muscular mass and strength. It probably does not have the same effect on the female metabolism.
